tags Fedora setup partition tips lvm root home IP
 
* '''NO LVM''': No need to use LVM (if you know what that is). That may help once we have support for it, however, for the time being, it complicates things sometimes (unless you know what you are doing).
* '''One partition''': Use a single partition for the root directory and one for swap (or if you know how to make swap to a file after install, just one partition will do).
* ''' Home ''': No need for a special home partition unless you have nees outside Amahi.
* '''Static IP''': Use a statically configured IP address: 192.168.1.10 with 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, typically. Remember to also jot down other network settings such as gateway and DNS server IP addresses before you start.
* '''SSH access''': For '''debug and for advanced users''' only, some people enable ssh through the routers, and [[ssh-ports|forwarding it the ssh port in your HDA]]
* i.e. with a 3 in it, '''not''' with a 5 in it. This sets the default runlevel to 3, which does not have X by default.
* '''Media drives''': if you want media in separate drives, set them up to mount in /var/hda/files (or subdirectories of that directory, music/ movies/, etc.)
* '''Greyhole drive pooling''' If you wnat to use Greyhole to pool your storage space, have a look at the [[Greyhole Guide]].
